Once a hippie, always a hippie.
If I ate waste, I'd maybe never want to eat again. These people need to join the Peace Corps or do something really meaningful...
Odds are, they are not taking the stuff already unpackaged. A lot of restaurants and grocery stores toss unopened items because they've exceeded the sell-by date. The items are perfectly good, just a little old.
Didn't I read on another thread one time that these fools are referred to as Freegans?
"Squatters believe that real human needs are more important than abstract notions of private property, and that those who hold deed to buildings but won’t allow people to live in them, even in places where housing is vitally needed, don’t deserve to own those buildings."
ORLY? Since when do we stamp our widdle feet and have a tantrum, "that's not fair!"

My first thought, too.
Spel chekur wurks I need a grammr chekur tu.
Dooh
Just goes to show you - You can buy an education, but you can't buy intelligence.
You should have eaten him. Why let a perfectly good lawyer go to waste...
ROTFL!
"We quit when we found out extended families living at the same address were getting 3-4 turkeys and selling them."
I guess you're familiar with the thread on FR about the church that gave a home to some Katrina refugees only to find out that they re-sold the home? When confronted, the refugees response was essentially, you gave it to us, so what if we sold it?
In this area, many churches have learned the hard way not to give any thing that can be resold to the 'needy'. I know of one church that will rent a motel room, buy gasoline, food, etc for the needy but they pay the motel directly with instructions that if the needy check out any refund goes to the church. They will buy a limited amount of gas but the church pumps and pays. They will buy meals but the meals must be consumed on the spot. Once burned...
CA Professionals Dine Out Of Dumpsters ^
DEMOCRATS!
Were I one of these businesses, I'd lock my dumpster.
So, if the biscuit they already made (or the dough already prepared) isn't put on your plate it isn't being wasted? I'd think the restaurant knows that on Tuesday they need x number of biscuits so that is what they make.
I guess if they start giving away extra biscuits at the end of the night, you've made a difference. The only food place I've worked at insisted on all leftover food being thrown away. They didn't want the cooks and employees cooking extra in order to eat it later.
;o)
yeah---the Charles Manson girls used to go dumpster diving for all their food too.
Interesting - the paper list them as "proffesionals" but reading the web site, most are voluntarily unemployed.
Its probally nothing more than a bunch of freeloaders, who found a way to make it seem cool and hip by giving it a title and purpose.
